Searching modulargrid for Eurorack delay modules, I found the Holocene NLMM in the other/unknown category. After watching some demo videos, I bought it on sale at Perfect Circuit. NLMM is a high fidelity stereo audio buffer with a sampling rate of 22050 Hz, 24-bit depth, and a maximum sample time of 15 seconds. All controls except the buffer size can be CV controlled. The Pitch control gives a +/-1 octave range of continuous variation and operates independently of the delay time parameter. Pitch seems to be applied post-delay and is outside the feedback, so it works differently than the time parameter in Clouds. When the buffer is frozen, the input is ignored and feedback has no effect. However, Pitch and Smear still work and Time becomes a Scrub, meaning that it picks out different segments of the buffer (though I’m not sure what determines the length of a segment).

I made a few recordings, while trying it out. These are all variants of freezing and scrubbing the buffer. The input comes from an oscillator being frequency modulated by a falling non-synched stepped CV sequence. I preprocessed this with Monsoon in Looping Delay mode. The Scrub is modulated by a random CV coming from Klavis Twin Waves LFO.

There is no reverb on these recordings; all effects are from the Monsoon and NLMM.

For the third recording, near the end I manually faded from Wet to Dry on the NLMM, falling back to the Monsoon output, and then manually faded the Monsoon from Wet to Dry back to the original signal.
